Many did!! But many did not. Which goes for most bookish things

I think that's a wise edit. I bet readers would be interested in the ME aspects, but not covid.

Doing so definitely hurt my reviews and sales, 100%.

Absolutely!

I guess I look to contemporary romance for comfort but not necessarily escape, so I never considered not doing that. But it was not a choice for everyone!

I wrote a rom-com that acknowledged covid (Chick Magnet), and that was a... polarizing choice. So I absolutely believe it's getting sublimated into other varieties of loss and grief.

the sex scenes that haunt my dreams because of the horrifying writing or the degradation or whatnot are almost always litfic.
I like Sally Rooney, but there was a scene in Intermezzo that was as bad as the poem we're all horrified by, lol

The world owes romance writers an apology. We told you that writing dirty talk was an art, but you didn't believe us.

Of all the places where you wouldn't want AI!!!
I was literally signing a contract a few months ago, and the AI offered to summarize it for me. and it was like, no, I need to read and understand ALL of it.
